An Ideology for White People

I was only able to attend this morning’s Politico event with Rich Lowry, Rick Santorum, and Tom DeLay very briefly, but Lowry started out with a joke about how it was incongruous to be the editor of a conservative magazine located in “very liberal New York City.” He said he would illustrate that, for example, it was funny that the National Review offices were for a long time located directly above . . . what would it be? Revolution Books? NOW NYC? No . . . a hip-hop record label. Everyone laughed!

The joke being, I guess, that conservatives and black people don’t mix. Which I suppose is true enough, but usually put so nakedly.
